Arcaean Empire

[Antonine]

King Velax has announced to his court that he wants to fulfill the ambitions of Jenred and create a new Arcaean Empire.

Any thoughts from people?

[Zakilevo]

Arcaean Empire? Is he going to proclaim himself as the emperor?

[Antonine]

I believe so.

[BardicNerd]

Oh, this will be fun.

[Indirik]

And thus begins the long wars to consolidate the island under the Imperial Arcaean banner.

[Zakilevo]

time to start paying tributes!

500 gold a week from every realm bordering the empire!

[Bedwyr]

The hell he has done a what now?

[Daycryn]

This is good, because then Lokenth will be able to say that as a lowly freeman he hobnobbed with lords and generals and kings AND an emperor. Even if they were actually all the same guy, it still counts.

[Arundel]

Sorraine is joining? Yes... maybe... depends. Probably. As long as we get Topenah

[Bedwyr]

To clarify: If Velax used the words "Arcaean Empire" whenever I manage to unpause Jenred will shank him.  He was an infiltrator, you know.  If he's just implementing the Lands of the Noca plans, that's excellent.

There is something very wrong with a realm that punishes rapist nobles. Talk 'bout a screwed up realm, huh?

...Beg pardon?  I have no idea what this is referring to.

What exactly did you expect? Velax mentioned Arcachon nobles raped peasants, Arnaud said he hopes he can rape some peasants soon and Velax replied that any noble doing so will be banned. In response, Arnaud decides to rape some peasants immediately, and then when Velax issues the punishment, Arnaud decides to not only ignore it, but insist that Velax publicly state that Arnaud was right and did nothing wrong. Seriously? An instant ban should have been the punishment, but I tried to give Arnaud a second chance because he's an active noble and RPs more than most, but he threw it back in Velax's face.

[Bedwyr]

That's considerably more leniency than Jenred, Dentara, and if I recall correctly Riar would have given.  I don't think rape has been legal in Arcaea since Trinity, and even that that was only in a time of war against enemies.

No, he said members of Ohnarian council raped peasants. Untrue, but whatever.
